3i2 DECADES PLANTARUSI NOVARUJI AUSTRO-AFRICANARUM. 



republica Transvaalensi, alt. c. 4500 peel., exeunte Maio 1895 ; 

 Dr. A. Penther. 



I am indebted to my friend Dr. A. Pentlier, of Vienna, for a 

 collection of plants which he made during his expedition to the 

 Zambesi, amongst which, besides several other novelties, I found 

 this fine KaJanchoc, which differs from all our other South African 

 species by its pilose corolla. It is nearest to K. hirta Harv., in 

 which, however, the leaves are said to be conspicuously petioled. 

 K. rotiouUfolia Harv. and A'. ohlonrjifoUa Harv. differ by the want of 

 the indumentum. 



44. Vangueria pygmaea, sp.n. Fruticulus humilis, 10-15 cm. 

 altus, e basi parum ramosus ; ramis erectis adscendentibusve apice 

 densius foliatis, pilis deflexis puberulis demum glabratis ; foliis 

 oppositis lineari-oblongis vel ellipticis, obtusiusculis, basin versus 

 angustatis, brevissime petiolatis, utrinque subvelutinis, 4-7 cm. 

 longis, medio fere 1-2 cm. latis ; stipulis e basi dilatata subulatis, 

 intus perspepe fasciculo pilorum ornatis ; cymis axillaribus abbrevi- 

 atis, foliis duplo vel plus duplo brevioribus ; bracteolis miuutis ; 

 pedicellis erecto-patentibus, subvelutinis florum fere longitudine; 

 calyce coroUte duplo fere breviore subvelutino, segmentis lineari- 

 lanceolatis, erecto-patentibus ; corolla; tubo subcampauulato extus 

 glabro, calycis segmenta subexcedente, lobis ovatis acutis extus 

 puberulis, intus glabris, erecto-patentibus, c. 0*4 cm. longis, corolljB 

 fauce intus fascilis pilorum deflexorum ornatis ; stamiuibus coroUte 

 lobis alternantibus fauci insertis, filamentis subulatis brevibus, 

 antheris oblongo-lanceolatis apiculatis, loborum medium subexce- 

 dentibus ; stylo subfiliformi glabro, stigmate capitato, antherarurn 

 apicem subexcedente ; fructu subgloboso glabro, calycis lobis per- 

 sistentibus coronato, 1-1 "5 cm. diametiente. 



In regione austro-orientali : In graminosis, Elandsfontein, prope 

 Johannesburg in republica Transvaalensi, alt. c. 5500 ped., Nov. 

 1896 ; D. F. GUjillcm {E. E. Galpin, No. 1416 in Herb. Schlechter). 



Allied to V. Zei/Iwii Soud., but well distinguished by its calyx, 

 the hairy leaves, and lobes of the corolla ; the flowers are green. 



45. Anthospermum Galpinii, sp. n. Fruticulus erectus 

 ramosus, 2-3-pedalis, habitu A. athiopico Tlibg. similis; ramis 

 erectis angulatis primum microscopice puberulis, demum glabratis, 

 mox lignescentibus, subdense, prassertim apicem versus, foliatis ; 

 foliis ternatim verticellatis, erecto-patentibus, linearibus mucronu- 

 latis, utrinque glabris, marginibus plus minusve revolutis, 0-6-1 cm. 

 longis ; fructibus axillaribus sessilibus oblongis, apice subemargi- 

 natis, calycis dentibus subobsoletis ; mericarpiis semiteretibus 

 oblongis obtusis, dorso puberulis, 2-5 mm. longis ; stigmatibus 

 filiformibus flexuosis, villosis, elongatis, corollam 4-partitam multo 

 excedentibus, c. 0-6 cm. longis. 



In regione austro-orientali: In collibus ad portum "St. Johns" 

 dictis "West Gate," in terra "Pondoland" appellata, alt. c. 1100 

 ped., Dec. 1896 ; E. E. Galpin, No. 3472. 



This species so much resembles some forms of A. cBthiopicum 

 Thbg. that it might easily be taken for that, if the fruits were not 

 very different. The latter resemble very much those of A, Lichteii'
